For many students at Malden High, the Muslim Student Association has become far more than just a club; it’s a space built on community, identity, and shared purpose. Through the conversations with members like Yasser Belatrache, Iyad Doukkali, and Meriam Bouchtout, one theme became clear: the MSA has created a welcoming environment where students can learn, express themselves, and feel supported. What began as a simple place to gather has grown into a meaningful part of student life, offering discussions, events, and a sense of belonging for Muslim and non-Muslim students alike. Members emphasized how the club has strengthened friendships, encouraged understanding, and given them a voice within the school. For many, the MSA isn’t just an extracurricular; it’s a community that continues to shape their high-school experience in a positive and lasting way.
